To all..
I was using a Gigabyte motherboard, and the board seems like a bad
choice. What do you guys recommend for a decent server board that
would use a Dual Core processor and DDR2 ram. I dont want to replace
the CPU and Mem i already have, just find a decent board that
supportsthe existing..
there's an awful lot of different dual core processors.
you said 'server' motherboard, to me that would be a Xeon or Opteron
board that had server centric features like ECC memory, a remote
management 'lights out' console accessible over the network, and
multiple gigE network interfaces. it would probably have ATI 'rage'
type minimal VGA onboard, and no audio at all. it likely would have
SAS onboard (or SCSI if its an older design), or at least a lot of SATA
channels setup for working with a SATA backplane. it would be designed
to fit into a 1U/2U chassis, with support for a PCI/PCI-express riser
card. it would have PCI-Express x4 and/or PCI-X I/O slots.
this is a typical modern server board
